Neighbourhood policing is one of the most significant and high
profile innovations in UK policing in recent times. It has also
been one of the most successful, garnering widespread political and
public support for its objectives and the processes of policing
that it has sought to embed. Indeed, it has recently been described
as the 'bedrock' of the British policing model. But it was not
always so lauded. At the time of its initial development it
encountered considerable opposition and scepticism from both within
and outside of the police. This book tells the story of how and why
the neighbourhood policing model was originally designed and
implemented, and then, what has led to a decline in its prominence
in terms of everyday police practice. To do this, Neighbourhood
Policing draws upon unparalleled empirical data from the authors'
ten-year programme of research to provide unique and compelling
insights into the key practices and processes associated with the
concept and implementation of neighbourhood policing. The chapters
describe how: key processes and practices have evolved and matured;
the ways neighbourhood policing delivers a range of local policing
services; as well as how, in some towns and cities, it has provided
a platform for tackling violent extremism and organised crime. This
approach is used to set out a broader analytic frame that addresses
the conditions under which innovative policing models emerge, are
developed and decline. In so doing, the book engages with wider and
deeper questions about the police function in contemporary society.
